Shape (Cut Design)

By -

All diamond shapes are not created equally. Some require larger rough diamonds from the start. Others waste more rough diamond than their peers. And some require jewelers with higher levels of expertise.

Round cuts, which remove more of the rough diamond than most other cuts, are more expensive to produce. By comparison, an emerald cut diamond with similar grades in carat weight, color, clarity, and cut, may cost 30% less than its round cut counterpart.

However, since over 75% of the diamonds sold are round cuts, if the diamond ring may ever need to be resold, it should be easier to resell if the stone is a round cut.

However, coloured diamonds are graded for their intensity of colour, not lack of it. Argyle diamonds have two very unique and outstanding features: they are harder than other diamonds and may fluoresce blue under ultra-violet light.
